Skin & Tissue Support
Skin- and tissue-supportive foods provide protein, beneficial fats, fluids, vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds used in maintenance and repair. Ayurveda considers rasa, rakta, mamsa, circulation, digestion, and external care.
Skin and connective tissues rely on adequate protein, beneficial fats, fluids, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin A, and varied plant nutrients. The overall eating pattern and health of circulation matter more than any single beauty food.
Ayurveda considers the nourishment of rasa, rakta, and mamsa dhatus, beginning with balanced agni. Warm cooked meals, appropriate oils, hydration, and external practices such as abhyanga may complement food. Persistent rash, wounds that do not heal, infection, sudden swelling, or unexplained skin changes need evaluation.
